Effects of empowering leadership under boundary conditions in the hospitality industry

This study tests the positive effects of empowering leadership (ELSH) under boundary conditions in the hospitality industry. We propose the existence of an interactive process through which ELSH behaviors interact with employees’ personality type to condition their engagement, which in turn influences their extra-role service behavior. We use data from 294 employees and structural equation modeling. The results show that the interaction of ELSH with employees’ independent and interdependent personality is negatively related to their engagement. This decrease in engagement is then reflected in decreased extra-role service behaviors due to the positive relationship between engagement and extra-role service. These findings suggest that self-construal is a significant boundary condition capable of changing the positive relationship between ELSH and engagement to a negative one. Not considering this relationship when establishing a leadership strategy such as ELSH in the hospitality context could render efforts to achieve the goal of high-quality service ineffective.European Regional Development Fund (European Union)Spanish Government ECO2017-84138-PJunta de Andalucia A-SEJ-154-UGR18University of Granada/CBU

Quién soy, qué conozco y a quién conozco: el uso de la lógica de efectuación por los emprendedores académicos

ABSTRACT The logic of effectuation argues that entrepreneurs create their businesses through a process of repeated action that is creative and unplanned, utterly contrary to causal logic or to the rational process put forward in the literature on entrepreneurship. In this study we focus on the use of effectual logic by academic entrepreneurs, i.e, university teachers or researchers who have founded a (research-knowledge based) university spin-off. Our research aims to analyze whether academic entrepreneurs engage in effectual behaviors in the process of creation and development of spinoffs. We analyze 16 cases of academic entrepreneurs from Spanish universities to obtain evidence of their effectual behavior. This study contributes to achieve a greater comprehension about how academic entrepreneurs transform their knowledge, experience, and the resources available in entrepreneurial opportunities. It also helps us better understand how different factors in the university context influence the practice of effectuation.La lógica de la efectuación argumenta que los emprendedores crean sus empresas siguiendo un proceso de acción reiterada, creativo y no planificado, totalmente contrario a la lógica de causalidad o al proceso racional propuesto en la literatura sobre el emprendimiento.  En este estudio nos centramos en el uso de la lógica de efectuación por los emprendedores académicos, es decir, profesores universitarios o investigadores que han fundado una spin-off basada en resultados de investigación. El objetivo de nuestro trabajo es analizar en qué medida los emprendedores académicos desarrollan una acción emprendedora basada en la lógica de efectuación o causalidad y cómo los factores propios del contexto universitario influyen en el uso de las mencionadas lógicas. Analizamos un total de 16 casos de emprendedores académicos de las universidades españolas para obtener evidencia de su comportamiento emprendedor. Este estudio contribuye a lograr una mayor comprensión sobre cómo los emprendedores académicos usan sus conocimientos, experiencia empresarial y recursos disponibles en la configuración de oportunidades emprendedoras. También aporta una mejor comprensión sobre cómo los diferentes factores en el contexto universitario influyen en la práctica de la efectuación.
